Waterloo police investigate fatal shooting

A homicide investigation is underway in Waterloo following a late night shooting just blocks from the police station. Several blocks of a residential neighborhood remain cordoned off today while police try to piece together details of the deadly shooting.

Officers were called to the neighborhood near downtown Waterloo just after 11 p.m. Tuesday on multiple reports of shots being fired. When they arrived, officers found 29-year-old Taveros Galloway of Waterloo dead inside a vehicle on a sidewalk outside a home.

Authorities say Galloway was fatally shot and pronounced him dead at the scene. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow. Police removed the S-U-V from the scene earlier today. Authorities say they’re in the early stages of the investigation. They’ve released little information about the shooting.
